Dear Yoel Roth: Coordinated Harmful Activity on Twitter Is Not Reportable

It’s against TOS but it is not enforced or even acknowledged. Here’s an example.

Dear Yoel Roth (@yoyoel) and Twitter Safety (@TwitterSafety):

I’m surprised you said that mass-reporting is not a factor in “incorrect enforcements” given my own experience. Additionally, the Twitter Rules against Coordinated Harmful Activity are not acknowledged or enforced.

Yoel Roth @yoyoel

We’re closely investigating — but mass reporting is not a factor here. A small number of human errors as part of our work to proactively address manipulated media resulted in these incorrect enforcements. We’re fixing the issue and reaching out directly to the affected folks.

Twitter needs to do a better job of protecting these OSINT accounts. Russian controlled accounts are reporting them for fake violations and Twitter has been algorithmically suspending them for 12 hours. Twitter is part of the battlefield now. https://t.co/1Ach9WQOsB

(To my readers: I know it may draw trolls, but if you are up for it and want to respond to Mr. Roth’s tweet above by replying with this article, it would be helpful to draw his attention. Or tag @yoyoel and @TwitterSafety in a tweet.)

Nearly two months ago, I was inauthentically permanently banned for the third time as a result of coordinated harmful activity on your platform. Since then, not only has this activity not stopped, it has gotten worse. There are dozens of accounts participating and several people who are dedicated to defaming me full time.

The current ringleader is a deceptive, harmful LARP (live action role play character) called @KassandraSeven who is literally devoted to destroying my life. I have identified the person behind this account. She is a professional weaponized troll who falsely portrays herself as a “Resister.”

Weaponized Professional Troll @KassandraSeven: Part I

This is a screenshot of the troll brigade that @KassandraSeven set loose after Meidas Touch announced a partnership with me on 1/6/22. I have had this account and nearly everyone else on this chart blocked for a year.

Every one of these tweets are harmful lies or deceptions about me. Five days later, I was permanently banned for ban evasion of a ban that was reversed because it did not break any rules. This is what coordinated harmful activity looks like. But there is no way to report it.

Not only was my original ban inauthentic and reversed, it was a result of mass reporting by @KassandraSeven and her crew who have been bragging about it for two months despite the fact that Twitter acknowledged it was incorrect. The tweet they reported was a response to an insurrectionist who called me a “sexual predator” and a “felon.”

Thousands of negative tweets later, here’s what @KassandraSeven says today, which is an admission that she is intentionally working around the Twitter Terms of Service. She and the people she works with carefully craft individual tweets so they are not reportable. But she knows that what she is doing is harmful and it is overtly coordinated.

Here is 351MB of coordinated harmful activity from just this one account. There are dozens of other accounts who participate.

Mr. Roth, please review the record. I have never been abusive. To the contrary, I’m the target of coordinated harmful activity, and constant targeted harassment and abuse. Here’s my Twitter feed right after I was permanently banned the last time. Now please compare it to @KassandraSeven’s Twitter feed. Which of these accounts is the abusive one?

I would greatly appreciate it if you would restore my account so I can continue to inform my followers on your platform. I’m not abusive and I do not break the rules.

Thanks!
